Time for action : implementing CEDAW in Southeast Asia
The book is born out of UNIFEM’s concentrated efforts in raising awareness about the Convention and women’s right among both duty bearers and rights holders in seven countries in Southeast Asia – Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam. It shows how CEDAW has been used in advocacy for stronger legal frameworks that prohibit discrimination against women and advance women’s human rights, in sensitizing the justice system to protect the rights of women, in guiding local development and budget allocation processes. It demonstrates the innovative ways in which civil society organizations are popularizing CEDAW, reaching out to excluded groups of women, and using it as a means to hold their government accountable.
